LEN Aquatics European Championships postponed to August 17-30, 2020.

 

Hm, it makes absolutely no sense to have this right after SOG, and if SOG gets postponed to next year, why would LEN be able to host this in 2020? 

Because hosting European championships is most likely easier than hosting Olympics. Having it right after the Olympics makes no sense, I agree, but then again: it's only the European championships, they never feel like that many people and athletes really care :p

Snooker World Championships in May also postponed.  :noshake: OK we are all going to argue whether it’s a sport.

No, Snooker (pronounced the correct way) is definitely a sport :yes

At this point pretty much every equestrian competition until June is cancelled. And then even some from June/July are already off as well.

 

Having the Olympics in July without any proper competition beforehand is absolutely imaginable. Equestrian isn't rowing or something. Competition milage is extremely important going into championships...

Can’t they just let the horses practise on their own?  :p

Well, they do realize they are at home, so the first competitions after a longer stay at home are not always optimal. :p

 

Plus, this situation creates some major team selection concerns.

For equestrian or for rowing? Because generally everyone says the exact same thing about every sport :p Having competition 'milage' under your belt is important in any sport to perform well..

Equestrian. 

 

And it's not the same for all sports. There is a reason why rowing has like three World Cups and that's it. And even those have only like 5 entries sometimes. :p

    • Alpine skiing also we have a lot of problems: the men's team is very weak and has been winning a few podiums a season for several years and the our best skier- Dominik Paris is 35. We still have a strong women's team but 3 of the 4 leaders are over 30 (Goggia, Brignone, Curtoni) and Bassino is 28. Another 2 years and we will have the same problem as the men's. There is basically no cross-country skiing without Pellegrino for many years, biathlon is based on 2 individuals with one of them has a 35 years. Vittozzi's injury was enough and we haven`t a single podium this season after 3 stages of the World Cup. As for 1 year to the home games the situation isn`t optimistic.
    • Hail to the Reds... Commanders. First time since 1991 Washington QB has thrown 5 TD passes in a game (which isn't all that improbable in the modern game alas Dan Snyder...)    
    • Italy is much better in alpine skiing, in The end all Nations have a Limited Talent Pool. Norway is far better than Sweden/Finland in Cross-Country skiing, alpine skiing and Biathlon, but Sweden/Finland are far better in ice Hockey.  Great Britain wins far more medals than Germany At Summer olympics, but GB is also inexistant in Winter Sports and Most popular Team Sports (Volleyball, Handball, Basketball, Ich Hockey).  
    • Thanks, great stat! Tannheimer wont turn 20 until August 2025, so she has The whole Season To Join Kristiansen and Neuner. Too Bad that she was ill this week. I think Galmace Paulin and Tänglander could also do it. I think Grotian (born 2004) is The First female Biathlete born after 1999 To make a World Cup Podium. On The Mens side multiple Athletes (Perrot, Giacomel, Uldal) have already done it.   E. Öberg was 22 and a half when she First won.  Dahlmeier was 21 and a half.   Edit: Grotian only narrowly missed The Podium in The Individual at The 2024 World Championships when she was still  19 year old.
